Cup and plate


Course Description

In this session, you will be shown the slab building technique to make a cup and a plate. These can also be decorated with surface pattern and textures during the session. The pieces made will then be dipped in a white glaze for you after their first firing.  Please note the potters wheel is not used in this class. Your pieces will be ready approx 3-4 weeks after the session. If you have any questions please check FAQ's or get in touch with me directly. Two people minimum per booking. £50 per person.


Important information

What to bring: These sessions aren’t overly messy, but you may wish to bring an apron or wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, just in case! After the Session: Your work will be fired twice: first a bisque firing, followed by a final glaze firing. The clay must be “bone dry” before entering the kiln, and the kiln must be full for each cycle. Generally, your work will be ready for collection within three to four weeks. However, please understand that factors beyond my control (such as cold weather, kiln maintenance, or waiting for a full load) may extend this timeframe. I will contact you as soon as your work is ready to collect. Important note on breakages: While it doesn’t happen often, I cannot guarantee that work won’t crack during the drying process or inside the kiln. This is an inherent risk of pottery that can affect beginners and experts alike. I cannot offer refunds for work that breaks in the kiln or is damaged while awaiting collection. Collection: All finished work must be collected within two weeks of receiving your “ready for collection” email. Due to very limited storage space and the risk of damage on busy shelves, I cannot hold items beyond this period.
